Al-Kadi FK, Adbulkareem JF, Azhdar BA. Evaluation of the Mechanical and Physical Properties of Maxillofacial Silicone Type A-2186 Impregnated with a Hybrid Chitosan-TiO 2 Nanocomposite Subjected to Different Accelerated Aging Conditions. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:539. [PMID: 37999180 PMCID: PMC10669078 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8070539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The effects of incorporating a pioneer chitosan-TiO2 nanocomposite on the mechanical and physical properties of room-temperature vulcanization (RTV) maxillofacial A-2186 silicone under accelerated aging protocols were rigorously examined. This investigation utilized 450 samples distributed across five distinct silicone classifications and assessed their attributes, such as tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, hardness, and surface roughness, before and after various accelerated aging processes. Statistical methodologies, including a one-way ANOVA, Tukey's HSD, and Dunnett's T3, were employed based on the homogeneity of variance, and several key results were obtained. Silicones infused with 1 wt.% chitosan-TiO2 showed enhanced tensile strength across various aging procedures. Moreover, the 1 wt.% TiO2/Chitosan noncombination (TC) and 2 wt.% TiO2 compositions exhibited pronounced improvements in the elongation percentage. A consistent rise was evident across all silicone categories regarding tear strength, with the 1 wt.% chitosan-TiO2 variant being prominent under certain conditions. Variations in hardness were observed, with the 1 wt.% TC and 3 wt.% chitosan samples showing distinctive responses to certain conditions. Although most samples displayed a decreased surface roughness upon aging, the 1 wt.% chitosan-TiO2 variant frequently countered this trend. This investigation provides insights into the potential of the chitosan-TiO2 nanocomposite to influence silicone properties under aging conditions.

Abstract
In the XXI century, application of nanostructures in oral medicine has become common. In oral medicine, using nanostructures for the treatment of dental caries constitutes a great challenge. There are extensive studies on the implementation of nanomaterials to dental composites in order to improve their properties, e.g., their adhesive strength. Moreover, nanostructures are helpful in dental implant applications as well as in maxillofacial surgery for accelerated healing, promoting osseointegration, and others. Dental personal care products are an important part of oral medicine where nanomaterials are increasingly used, e.g., toothpaste for hypersensitivity. Nowadays, nanoparticles such as macrocycles are used in different formulations for early cancer diagnosis in the oral area. Cancer of the oral cavity-human squamous carcinoma-is the sixth leading cause of death. Detection in the early stage offers the best chance at total cure. Along with diagnosis, macrocycles are used for photodynamic mechanism-based treatments, which possess many advantages, such as protecting healthy tissues and producing good cosmetic results. Application of nanostructures in medicine carries potential risks, like long-term influence of toxicity on body, which need to be studied further. The introduction and development of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials are no longer part of a hypothetical future, but an increasingly important element of today's medicine.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the change in the mechanical properties of silicone elastomer used in the production of maxillofacial prostheses with the addition of 3 different nanoparticles (TiO2-SiO2-ZnO).
Material and Method: TiO2-SiO2-ZnO nanoparticles were added to the A part of the M511 Platinum (Technovent Ltd., England) silicone elastomer at a rate of 2% by weight. Test specimens were produced in sizes by ASTM D412 standards for tensile strength and percent elongation, ASTM D624 for tear strength, and ASTM D2240-68 for hardness testing. For each mechanical test, 4 groups were formed together with the control group and 3 other groups to which nanoparticles were added, and a total of 132 samples were produced, 11 samples for each group (n=11), (N=132). The data of tensile strength, elongation percentage, and tear strength tests were analyzed by Shapiro Wilk's and/or Kolmogorov Smirnov/Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis-H tests; for the hardness test, the values in each group showed a normal distribution within themselves, hardness test was analyzed with Oneway ANOVA/Tukey HSD tests.
Results: The addition of TiO2 and SiO2 to the silicone elastomer significantly increased the tensile strength compared to the other groups (p

Abstract
In order to improve thermomechanical, antibacterial and temperature-controlled color-response performance of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in maxillofacial prostheses, the incorporation of titania (TiO2) nanoparticles and thermochromic pigments (TCP) into PDMS was examined. The thermal transitions of TiO2/PDMS nanocomposites, investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), remain almost unaffected, while an increase of the crystallinity of PDMS was recorded in specimens with higher titania concentrations. The incorporation of titania improves the thermal stability, as it was revealed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), as well as the tensile properties of the reinforced elastomer. Nanocomposites with 10 wt% titania presented antibacterial activity against Escherichia Coli, leading to 72% reduction of the bacterial colony after 3 h of exposure. Specimens colored with red TCP (0.2 and 0.6 wt%) showed significant color change at a lower temperature (−20 °C) in comparison with that at an ambient temperature, especially at lower TCP concentration (0.2 wt%). Accelerating aging experiments, consisting of repeated cycles of combined exposure to UV-radiation and damp heating, of PDMS colored with TCP showed poor color stability of the specimens, from the first hours of exposure. The addition of titania to polysiloxane specimens works as an opacifier providing a positive effect on the color stability of the examined thermochromic pigment.

Abstract
The commonly used prosthodontic materials are resins, ceramics, metals and silicones. A comprehensive review of literature was completed about the incorporation of nanomaterials in prosthetic dentistry using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. This was supplemented with a manual search of selected journals. English language articles in peer- reviewed journals were selected. Current literature reveals that incorporation of nanomaterials has significantly improved the properties of the prosthetic materials within the clinically acceptable ranges. There appears to be a need for a standardization for these in vitro studies carried out to evaluate their physical, mechanical and antimicrobial properties

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of addition of various nanoparticles into maxillofacial silicone elastomer on color stability and mechanical and biological properties of the silicone elastomer. Settings and Design: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines(PRISMA). Materials and Methods: The electronic database search in MEDLINE/PubMed was based on population (silicone elastomer), intervention (nanoparticles), comparison (unreinforced silicone elastomer with nanoparticle-reinforced silicone elastomer), outcome (color stability and mechanical, physical, and biological properties), i.e., PICO framework. The key words used are (”maxillofacial silicone” OR “silicone elastomer” OR “facial silicone”) AND (”nanoparticles” OR “Nano-oxides”) AND (”colour stability” OR “Hardness,” “tensile strength” OR “tear strength” OR “antifungal activity”). Results: The database search resulted in 2099 studies, of which 2066 articles were excluded as they were irrelevant, duplicates, and data were not available. The remaining 33 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, out of which 2 articles were in Chinese language, 3 articles were thesis documents, and 8 were review articles. A total of 12 articles were excluded and the remaining 20 articles were included. One article was yielded by hand search of references of included studies. A total of 21 studies were included in the present systematic review. Conclusion: With the available evidence in the literature, it can be concluded that addition of nanoparticles at various concentrations may improve the physical and mechanical properties and color stability of the prosthesis made from the silicone elastomers.

The Influence of Filler Particles on the Mechanical Properties of Maxillofacial Prosthetic Silicone Elastomers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:E1536. [PMID: 32664615 PMCID: PMC7408417 DOI: 10.3390/polym12071536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Revised: 07/01/2020] [Accepted: 07/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Although numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of incorporating filler particles into maxillofacial silicone elastomer (MFPSE), a review of the types, concentrations and effectiveness of the particles themselves was lacking. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to review the effect of different types of filler particles on the mechanical properties of MFPSE. The properties in question were (1) tensile strength, (2) tear strength, (3) hardness, and (4) elongation at break. The findings of this study can assist operators, technicians and clinicians in making relevant decisions regarding which type of fillers to incorporate based on their needs. The systematic review was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 26 original articles from 1970 to 2019 were selected from the databases, based on predefined eligibility criteria by two reviewers. The meta-analyses of nine papers were carried out by extracting data from the systematic review based on scoring criteria and processed using Cochrane Review Manager 5.3. Overall, there were significant differences favoring filler particles when incorporated into MFPSE. Nano fillers (69.23% of all studies) demonstrated superior comparative outcomes for tensile strength (P < 0.0001), tear strength (P < 0.00001), hardness (P < 0.00001) and elongation at break (P < 0.00001) when compared to micro fillers (30.76% of all studies). Micro fillers demonstrated inconsistent outcomes in mechanical properties, and meta-analysis of elongation at break argued against (P < 0.01) their use. Current findings suggest that 1.5% ZrSiO4, 3% SiO2, 1.5% Y2O3, 2-6% TiO2, 2-2.5% ZnO, 2-2.5% CeO2, 0.5% TiSiO4 and 1% Ag-Zn Zeolite can be used to reinforce MFPSE, and help the materials better withstand mechanical degradation.

Abstract
Each year, congenital defects, trauma or cancer often results in considerable physical disfigurement for many people worldwide. This adversely impacts their psychological, social and economic outlook, leading to poor life experiences and negative health outcomes. In many cases of soft tissue disfigurement, highly personalized prostheses are available to restore both aesthetics and function. As discussed in part A of this review, key to the success of any soft tissue prosthetic is the fundamental properties of the materials. This determines the maximum attainable level of aesthetics, attachment mechanisms, fabrication complexity, cost, and robustness. Since the early-mid 20th century, polymers have completely replaced natural materials in prosthetics, with advances in both material properties and fabrication techniques leading to significantly improved capabilities. In part A, we discussed the history of polymers in prosthetics, their ideal properties, and the application of polymers in prostheses for the ear, nose, eye, breast and finger. We also reviewed the latest developments in advanced manufacturing and 3D printing, including different fabrication technologies and new and upcoming materials. In this review, Part B, we detail the chemistry of the most commonly used synthetic polymers in soft tissue prosthetics; silicone, acrylic resin, vinyl polymer, and polyurethane elastomer. For each polymer, we briefly discuss their history before detailing their chemistry and fabrication processes. We also discuss degradation of the polymer in the context of their application in prosthetics, including time and weathering, the impact of skin secretions, microbial growth and cleaning and disinfecting. Although advanced manufacturing promises new fabrication capabilities using exotic synthetic polymers with programmable material properties, silicones and acrylics remain the most commonly used materials in prosthetics today. As research in this field progresses, development of new variations and fabrication techniques based on these synthetic polymers will lead to even better and more robust soft tissue prosthetics, with improved life-like aesthetics and lower cost manufacturing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Silicone elastomers are generally used for maxillofacial extraoral prostheses. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of different kinds of nanoparticles added to two types of maxillofacial elastomers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A-2000 and A-2006 silicone elastomers were used. The silicone specimens were divided into eight groups according to the presence of additional nanoparticles (n = 18). The following represents the groups in the study: Group A: A-2000 silicone (control group); Group B: A-2006 silicone (control group); Group C: A-2000 silicone and the addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2 ); Group D: A-2006 silicone and the addition of TiO2 ; Group E: A-2000 silicone and the addition of fumed silica; Group F: A-2006 silicone and the addition of fumed silica; Group G: A-2000 silicone and the addition of silaned silica; Group H: A-2006 silicone and the addition of silaned silica. A paired sample t-test was used to analyze the cytotoxicity of each group after 24, 48, and 72 hours. RESULTS Based on the results of the 24-hour analysis, the biocompatibility values of the (A-2006) fumed silica group were higher than those of the control groups. There was no statistically significant difference in A-2006 and A-2000 groups. The cytotoxicity values of the control groups and TiO2 (A-2000 silicone) elastomer groups increased at all test times; however, the cytotoxicity values of the TiO2 (A-2006), fumed silica (A-2006), silaned silica (A-2006), fumed silica (A-2000), and silaned silica (A-2000) groups increased significantly only from 24 to 48 hours. CONCLUSION Nanoparticles of TiO2 , fumed silica, and silaned silica added to a commercial silicone-based elastomer used for fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses are nontoxic.

However, reports of other physical property changes in facial silicone are scarce. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of adding nanoparticles on the hardness, tear strength, and permanent deformation of a facial silicone. MATERIAL AND METHODS Specimens were made for each test, with 140 for the hardness test, 140 for the permanent deformation test, but 280 for the rupture test. This higher number was due to the fact that the first 140 specimens were ruptured and unusable after the initial reading. ZnO, BaSO4, and TiO2 nanoparticles at concentrations of 1% and 2% of silicone were used, as well as specimens without nanoparticles that consisted of only oil paint and of only silicone. Outcomes were measured before and after 1008 hours of accelerated aging. Data were analyzed by nested analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey honest significant differences test (α=.05). RESULTS Results showed that the presence of nanoparticles influenced the properties of the assessed groups. The nanoparticles decreased hardness values. The highest values of tear strength were observed for the groups with addition of BaSO4. The 1% ZnO group without oil paint showed the lowest values of permanent deformation. CONCLUSIONS Based on the findings of this in vitro study, the use of ZnO nanoparticles is recommended, since they did not negatively affect the properties of the materials evaluated.
